Working in Ledbury

In Ledbury we cover HR8; we also cover Great Malvern, 6.7 miles away, and Ross on Wye.

Ledbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For an en-suite in Ledbury, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If the en-suite in your Ledbury home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ledbury. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

Night lighting

A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
